1:8,000 horizontal
scale (2 x vertical exaggeration) Participatory
3D Model (P3DM) of the Ulu Papar area including areas inside and immediately
adjacent to the
Crocker Range Park, Sabah, Malaysia (November
2010 and August 2011)
Note: The
exercise was facilitated in order to train
members of the communities of Ulu Papar in the
practice and establish a medium (the 3D model)
where community members could interact and
share location-specific knowledge in an easy way
A second purpose of the exercise was to generate
spatial data which could be digitised and used
as part of wider effort supporting
community-based conservation in Ulu Papar.
Community researchers from Ulu Papar constructed
the model over a period of five days in November
2010. The completed blank model was subsequently
transported to Kalanggaan village in Ulu Papar,
where it was stored in a central location easily
accessible to community members. In August 2011,
a workshop was held in Kalanggaan in which local
residents developed a map legend first and later
on located the various features on the model
using paints and pins.
The model
(192 km2) was built by
representatives from the communities of
Kalanggaan, Pongobonon, and Longkogungan in Ulu
Papar, the Global Diversity Foundation, and
Sabah Parks.
Method/tools:
P3DM and GIS
Details:
|
The completed model is currently
housed in Kalanggan village, which was chosen as
it is the most central location in Ulu Papar,
and therefore provides the most convenient
access to residents. Community members have
agreed to periodically update the model with new
information during future workshops. Initial
model data have been imported into a GIS and
used as part of wider research aimed at
documenting local land use practices and provide
supporting evidence on the fact that the
communities are de facto the custodians and
conservation managers of Ulu Papar.

The model was
constructed as part of the Global Diversity
Foundation project entitled "Participatory
approaches to nominating the Crocker Range Park
as a Biosphere Reserve", which is being
implemented in partnership with the communities
of the Ulu Papar valley over a period of three
years (2009-2012). Financial support was
provided by
The Darwin
Initiative, Department of Environment, Food
and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), United Kingdom.
